Español One more week we are with you all with what is probably the last episode of the year. And with the remaining days left in the year, I don't think there is much chance of re-recording.
Besides, I'm sure you're busy with other more important matters these days, right?
On another note... did you win the lottery? Me neither, so podemos continue as if the 22nd of December does not exist in our lives. But let's go to Episode 19 of the podcast, I digress.
Today we begin by answering Paco's question. The first part of the question is the one that corresponds to the previous episode (the episode 18), and this time we have some additional clarification about the reliability of treadmills and Stryd as a podometer.
First of all, here is a link to what Stryd says about the use of its power meter on the treadmill.
Secondly, this document about Zwift, treadmills, Stryd and calibration.
Of course, both in English.
Once you've learned how to adjust it, Jose brings us all the information concerning the bike saddle. Measurements (width and length), materials, padding and choice. Also a review of what are the current trends like the Specialized S-Works Power Mirror, a 3D printed saddle (400 eurazos for nothing...).
And what about my part? Well, a review of ALL what has been presented in 2020. Believe me the list is long, when I was preparing all the material for the episode I thought the thing was going to be shorter, but the truth is that it is quite important. Here you can see the whole summary:

Hi Eduardo, sorry to make this comment here but I didn't know where to put it. Look I would like to know how to tag a friend (or several) in a training or long run that we do in the Garmin Connect.
Let me explain, I train with many different people and alone throughout the year, although I try to train whenever I can with someone, that alone I perform less hehehehe.
Well in Strava when I upload the training I have no problem, once uploaded I give to edit activity and add friend, and all friends who have done that activity are labeled and I can see their times and data and with whom I did that day the training that memory is fragile when time passes.
Well that's what I do on Strava I'd like to do on Garmin Connect, tag your activity buddies, so to review an old workout or run I can know who I trained with that day and poder quickly review how their times were as well. It seems silly and sure it's easy but I haven't been able to do it on Garmin Connect and on Strava I do it daily. I also like the data provided by Garmin Connect much better and I find it more complete and in my environment we all use Garmin and some of us don't even have Strava.
Well sorry for the inconvenience but you that cacharreras much more with this type of things maybe you know tell me how it is done, that I for more than I look for it I do not find the way to do it. Greetings Eduardo, I've been following you for years and I can't even remember how many years I've been following you.
Well no, what you want to do is not possible. Strava is more of a social network than a training platform, so it is integrated and designed that way.
